Microbrewers updated and reimplements Brewcrafters The Travel Card Game.
In Microbrewers, you've opened your own brewery and are competing with other brewers in town to be named the Brew Crafter of your city. You'll build your brewery by installing equipment and hiring workers, and then get to work brewing your beer! The player that earns the most reputation as the city's best brewer will win!
There are three main differences between Microbrewers and the original Brew Crafters: The Travel Card Game:
There are two new card types: The Research Lab and the Tasting Room. The Research Lab encourages you to brew specialty beers that use fruit and coffee and balances out the number of worker and equipment cards in the game. The Tasting Room scores you end-game points for having a variety of different ingredients showing on your brewery upgrades. Adding these two new card types means you'll see a greater variety of cards in your hand, making the decision about which card to play on each turn more interesting.Second, instead of passing being the third option for the main action of your turn, you now have the option to draw 1 additional card, meaning you can add 3 cards to your hand on your turn instead of 2. This can be crucial late in the game, giving you the 1 additional card you need to make an epic brew or install a critical brewery upgrade on your last turn.Third, the game lasts one additional round. Now, when the game's end is triggered, players finish the final round and play one more full round. This provides a more satisfying feeling of completion. It allows you to better plan for the end of the game and avoids the game ending abruptly without giving you the chance to take a final turn.
